Jon Jones vs Rampage Jackson @ UFC 135
This was one of the most hyped fights in the UFC. People honestly thought Rampage was going to take the title from Jones
Fuck man.
Anyways, the first round starts with Jones doing some weird shit basically crawling around on the mat i think just fucking with Rampage, but it just Draws Jackson in and Jones throws on a clinch and pushes Page up to the cage, Jones would land a few knees to the mid section and Jones would attempt a Guillotine choke here as well but Jackson rolled out of it but ate a forearm for his efforts. Fighter head back to the center of the octagon and Jones throws a front kick to the body of Rampage but the fight ended up getting back into the clinch after a little bit. Ref splits them up after a bit. They start in the middle of the octagon and Jones would throw some leg kicks and a few jabs Rampage started to limp a little bit. To end the round Jones landed his awesome spinning elbow.
Jon Jones is the clear cut winner here of this first round, fuck off Rampage.
Off to round number two, Rampage is having a hard time dealing with Jone's MASSIVE reach advantage of 11.5 inches, Rampage would try for a clinch and Jones would stuff it and bring the fight back to the center of the octagon. We're off to 3 minutes left in the round, and Rampage is just swinging and missing, awesome head movement by Jones here and he's using his reach advantage perfectly in this fight up to this point. Two minutes left in the round, and Jones is landing leg kick after leg kick to Jackson and he's getting more creative with them. Page is clearly frustrated, he has no clue what to do against Jones he's just standing their waiting for Jones to come in, unfortunately that doesn't work out to well when Jon has a huge reach advantage, Page would drop down and go for a triangle to end the round too bad for him he locked it in with 2 second left in the round.
J.Jones wins this second round also.
THIRD ROUND NOW: Rampage comes into this round and starts mixing some things up, he's not being one denominational anymore he's throwing some nice combos out, but eventually he would stop as Jones would take Jackson down and hit a few elbows and grabbed full mount RAMPAGE is in trouble now, still 3 minutes left in the fight and BOOM Quinton pops back up and now Rampage is bleeding a bit from some JONES BONES elbows, and would eat a front kick right to the chin Anderson Silva style, unfortunately it didn't have a whole lot of power behind it.
Rampage is back to just swinging at anything like he was in the first round, He has no clue how to handle Jones and is losing this round also. Right at the end of the round Jones landed a flying knee on Page.
After three rounds, Jones is up by 3 rounds although this round was a bit closer.
TIME FOR THE FOURTH ROUND
Rampage ate a jab and you could tell he got hurt from it, he backed right off of Jones after it. Jones would get into clinch and pin Page up against the cage, would drop down and take Jackson's back and put on a rear naked choke
AND AS MIKE GOLDBERG WOULD SAY, IT IS ALL OVER!
Flawless fight by Jones, Rampage looked like shit no surprise there though.
Winner by submission and still light heavyweight champion, Jon Jones
